D) 4 billion British pounds

Explanation:

Trade balance or balance of trade can be defined as the difference between a country's export and import at a particular period of time.

It could be a deficit or surplus.

Deficit trade balance refers to when the export of a country is less than it's import. This means more products are imported that exported.

Surplus trade balance refers to when export of a country is more than the import.

Import is the bringing in of goods from a foreign country. This means a particular country purchase goods from another country.

Export is the sending out of goods to a foreign country. That is the selling of goods to another country.

Trade balance = Export - Import

=14 billion British pounds - 10 billion British pounds

=4 billion British pounds

The trade balance that occurs here is surplus trade balance where export is more than import.
